My traumatic week

Nursing Students NCLEX

I just graduated from school on May 9th and was scheduled to take boards this last Thursday. On Monday, three days before the NCLEX, I took my 5 year old daughter into the ER and she was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. We were in the hospital with her until Wednesday evening. After many hours of indecision, I decided to go ahead and take the test. It was horrible. My husband, who has no medical background had to take care of her and he was scared to death because he is just learning to count carb points, figure insulin, and give injections. I was scared that he would give her too much insulin and kill her. The test shut off at 75 questions and I just knew that I had flunked. I was amazed to get on the computer this morning and find that I now have a license in my name. I even got my actual license in the mail today. This week has had such highs and lows and now I am exhausted. At least I don't start my job for 2 weeks!

Congrad.... Everything works out the way it should even though all that happened with your daughter ( hope she is okay) you still knew what you knew and no one not even a week from hell could take away all your hard work and knowledge... God trully does work in mysterious ways...:nurse: congrads again for it is offical now! Best of luck to you and yours enjoy your break.
